Erika Jonietz had to wait much longer — or perhaps she is younger than I am. She says:

Now, however, simplicity is increasingly important to me. I just want things to work, and with my Mac, they do.

That was exactly the issue that got me to switch from Windows to Mac OS back in 1996. And I really enjoy the fact that my Mac works simply. I should mention that there are issues with a Mac if you dig deep into the complexity of the box that make it harder to administer than Windows. But that is to be expected if one wants to be a Unix propellerhead — something akin to someone who regularly edits one’s Windows Registry files.

Now, if I could only get my wife to switch and her company to switch. They gave her a computer (an Acer-read lowball, third tier manufacturer that does not support their equipment laptop) that they do not support and expect her to simply work with it. As a result, the only place she can get her e-mail is at home because Windows doesn’t allow you to have two different Internet connections easily like a Mac does. She connects simply through my Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station and we print to a USB Inkjet printer with her personal laptop, her company’s laptop and my Mac desktop.
